If more travel is at the top of your New Year’s resolutions, we’re betting there’s an international hub on your list. fortunately, Airbnb just released its top destinations reportwhich covered where everyone stayed in 2022 and, more importantly, where we’ll all be vacationing in 2023. Unsurprisingly, places that recently reopened their borders such as Australia and New Zealand are trending, but one coastal town in Europe is looking like it will reign supreme. The most searches for future check-ins were for Málaga, Spain, a seaside perch known for golden beaches, tapas, and bringing Pablo Picasso into the world.

Even if you’re thrilled to get out of the house, the days are filled with sun, snacks, and art galleries call for a well-designed stay that feels like home to return to at night. Sifting

When I think of traveling, the scene from Home Alone where the McCallister clan is racing through the airport to catch their flight immediately comes to mind. Not to mention worrying about getting sick, letting healthy habits fall by the wayside, the all-too-familiar jet lag, and the nagging AF travel fatigue. Call me a pessimist or realist, traveling is stressful and can do a number on your well-being. While that may be true, it doesn’t have to be—vacationing is about letting loose and giving your mind and body a respite after all. Thanks to the doctors I spoke with, I’ve got all of the must-have on-the-go health tips, whatever your travel plans take you. Spoiler alert: You won’t ever leave home without them again.

Why do our immune systems suffer while traveling?

Between the environmental changes, deviation from normal routines (think: sleep, diet, and exercise), and being exposed to more

OVIEDO, Spain

Spanish authorities said Monday night that three stowaways who had clung to the rudder of a tanker that departed from Nigeria had been hospitalized on the Canary Islands.

The large ship departs from Lagos, according to the ship-tracking website Marine Traffic. Eleven days later, it arrived at the port of Las Palmas on the island of Gran Canaria.

Throughout the journey, at least three migrants have been hanging onto the narrow metallic rudder, with their feet dangling just a few feet above the Atlantic Ocean.

Spain’s coast guards said they rescued the stowaways after the tanker had docked.

The Canary Islands emergency services reported that the men all suffered from moderate dehydration and needed hospitalization.

They are not the first migrants to have made such an online journey.

In late 2020, Spanish authorities identified six others traveling from Nigeria on the rudders of two tankers.

I thought I managed to beat the tourist crowds on my recent trip to Japan.

On my first night in Osaka, I managed to get a picture with the famous Glico sign without anyone else in the background.

But perhaps I should’ve chalked it up to the fact that it was a Monday night.

I wasn’t so lucky later that week: It was next to impossible to get a picture at the top of the forest in Kyoto’s Arashiyama Bamboo Grove — about an hour away from Osaka — without being photo-bombed.

And my journey to a Kyoto Buddhist temple, Kiyomizu-dera, was no different — I got off a packed bus only to encounter a human traffic jam in the street leading

What could have been better for celebrating my reporting partner’s 39th birthday than a feast of two microwaveable “pub-sized” meals at a lonely Australian roadhouse some 150 miles from nowhere?

Covered in dust, we’d arrived at the Tjukayirla Roadhouse — pronounced “Chook a-year-la” — and claimed by its owners to be the most remote stop on the continent. That seemed an accurate description. All was quiet save for a desert breeze as we started in on the birthday dinner of chicken Kiev, and bangers and mash. A dingo roamed the grounds as we ate.

So goes life on the loneliest stretch of the 1,700-mile Outback Way, the grueling route, often unpaved, that cuts across

I take packing very seriously. From packing lists to packing cubes, I pride myself on always having what we need without overpacking — and without having to check bags. But I wasn’t always this way. I’ll never forget the first overnight trip with my then-4-month-old son for a weeklong conference in New Orleans. Being first-time parents, we packed everything we thought we would need and even more that we didn’t. But it’s better to have and not need, right? Not always.

A lot has changed since that last trip over four years ago, including the addition of another kid and countless trips, both domestic and international. Now with a 3- and 4-year-old in tow, I pack more efficiently from head to toe — literally.

Here’s what’s in my bag(s) when I travel with my family.

Thanksgiving is one of the busiest travel occasions of the year. Tens of millions of people in the United States will take to the roads, rails and skies to visit relatives and loved ones. Naturally, if there’s travel involved, the weather will play a big role. Luckily, we’ve got your forecast.

Wednesday, which is the busiest travel day, will be remarkably quiet across the Lower 48, with little in the way of precipitation outside some snow showers in the Intermountain West.

The latter half of the holiday period probably won’t be so tranquil.

For days, weather models have been suggesting the development of a potent storm system in the eastern United States between Friday and the weekend. They have somewhat backed off on their forecasts for its intensity, but significant precipitation could still affect parts of the central and eastern Lower 48.

In the West,

Vice President Harris is making an unusual stop on her latest trip to Asia. On Monday evening, she is set to become the highest ranking US official to visit Palawan, an island of the Philippines that borders the South China Sea.

It’s a neighboring island to the Spratly Islands, a territory at the center of a protracted dispute between China and nearby countries including the Philippines, Brunei, Vietnam and Malaysia.

China has bulked up man-made islands in the South China Sea, adding airstrips and military installations to the Spratlys. Its maritime claims to
